For the sake of info, the rtl8156 plugin "revived" my Sabrent USB 2.5gbit NIC.
By "revived", I mean that I had stopped using it due to the fact that it was not being recognized by Unraid any longer.
I did configure an MTU of 9000 but the transfers were fine at the default setting already.
Hi,
I just got a response from Realtek support implying that the new driver would work with kernel 5.8.
Then again that's hypothetical for now since they still mention 5.6 @ Realtek download.
Hi,
Same for me and also thanks for analyzing.
Let's review that with Realtek support then and let's see what's coming.
Oct 19 23:35:24 VirtualNas kernel: r8152 4-1:1.0: couldn't register the device
Oct 19 23:35:24 VirtualNas kernel: r8152: probe of 4-1:1.0 failed with error -22
[edit] I can get the RTL8152 working with Archlinux @kernel 5.4. while 5.8 looks like to be a no-go indeed.
